Just seen Dykes new proposals and I think they're ridiculous. I fail to see how it'd increase the quality of of English players. What do you think of the proposal everyone and eds? Will it actually go through? Can't players argue that it will impact their freedom to work?

I like the proposal and it seems to fit in with most peoples views on here. Everyone keeps saying how they would like our youth to be given a chance. This rule will help that happen. As a team we are building towards promoting from the youth anyway so it could work out just right for us. Whilst at the same time being a huge boost for English talent.

The idea that any young English player will fail to reach their potential because of overseas players is completely bogus - if a player is good enough, he will make it. I challenge those that forward this idea to give 1 example of any young English player who hasn't reached his potential.

Josh McEachran?

Club grown platers can foreign platers as well. They have to spend 3 years in the club until 18 years of age.

Juventa I think Josh didn't reach his potential as he didn't mature when he had too. He is way too skinny. Also I do believe that this rule would make more harm than good, as club would buy good English players who will still mostly sit on the bench just look at all English youth players who went to Man City, is their careers any good?

Agree1 Disagree0

From my point of view, if the talent was there then it wouldn't be an issue but we still have major issues at grassroots football. The proposals are meant to combat players falling through the cracks, but if we had youngsters who had such great potential that weren't getting into teams in the PL, they would have been lighting up lower league teams or becoming stars abroad ala Pogba, which just isn't the case.
I don't think we're going to see a surge in more English players, we'll just see more HG foreigners imo, which isn't going to help England at all.
Also if we think English players are expensive now, imagine how much their price will sky rocket when clubs will need 4 more of them.

So Cech has come out and said that an arrangement like the one this season with Courtois being the number 1 can only last one season. So probably he'll be gone after the summer transfer window.
First of all, he's handled the situation this season with the utmost professionalism and showed what a classy guy he is. True legend in my eyes!
Secondly, wouldn't it be awesome if he could go to Madrid (or some other over seas big club), play there for a few years, and then return to Chelsea later on in his career to play back up to whatever keeper we have then (probably Courtois)? That way he'd also get a chance to break the clean sheet record if he doesn't get it this season.
That'd be a great arrangement :)

{Ed018's Note - yea it would be great to see him come back in 4 or 5 years down the road. Like you said a true professional.}

25 Mar 2015 20:53:54
Yeah would love him to come back and play. Also would be really nice to wraP up the league early and let him play the rest of the games, as I heard that player has to play certain amount of games to get a medal (or I am mistaken? Please ed's help)

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2015 07:16:15
I think a player has to have 5 appearances for the team in order to get a medal. And I believe he's already reached that amount :)

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2015 23:31:56
Thanks for your reply Jackson as I remember when Owen (if I remember right) was at united and commentators were saying that he needs to get couple games more on order to receive the medal

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed008's Note - I thought it was 10 appearances?

27 Mar 2015 14:16:23
Me too ed008, while was writting your number thought who is the coolest of you and got 007 ;D

Here is my weekly question guys,

Which Chelsea player which was sold or allowed to leave you miss a lot? Or putting it in other wards you were sad to see him/them go? (Sorry for my English lads as it isn't my mother tongue and actually is my 3rd language :D)

So for me the list goes like this:

1. Lampard - don't really understand how we could let him go, he was a legend and always will be, for me it is same as let Terry go.

2. Mata - loved the guy and he was best player of the year twice in a row in his first two seasons.

3. KDB - this is purely because of what player he became, he is the real deal. I know that he had stupid demands but just sad he didn't make it at Chelsea

Mate that's in the past now times change, if we needed them they wouldn't of been sold

Agree1 Disagree3

24 Mar 2015 16:25:57
1. Glen Johnson
2. Scott Sinclair
3. Scott Parker

thank you and good night

I'd have loved to see KDB make it with us. Being Belgian I really like him :) shame he made some demands, surely he knows no player is bigger than the club.
I also kinda miss Mata. Love the guy, seems like a genuinely nice guy outside of football as well. He also brought some magical moments. That said, I don't think the club were wrong to sell him. It was a great offer and he apparently wanted to go, so no mistake there IMO. Just didn't fit the system.
Thirdly I'd go with Ricardo Carvalho. I LOVED him when he was with us. Fantastic defender in my eyes! I miss him sometimes. That partnership he had with Terry was something special :)

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Mar 2015 18:58:25
I am not Belgian but KDB without any doubt!

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Mar 2015 20:03:27
Mata all day long

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Mar 2015 21:10:58
Mata
Robben
Carvalho

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - I'll only add I wish that De Bruyne would've been given more of a chance and succeeded at Chelsea. He's far superior to Oscar in the attacking sense}

24 Mar 2015 22:51:19
I didn't include De Bruyne only due to the fact that you can't really miss what you never really had. He never got the chance to play for us, so I couldn't justify putting him ahead of the other 3. Having said that I do agree with you though ed. Think if we had another solid CM ala Koke/Pogba, we wouldn't need our no10 to be as defensive.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed018's Note - exactly. Obviously I don't think you will see De Bruyne back at Chelsea but pair Pogba or Koke with Matic and push Fabregas alittle more forward and I think we'd be better off}

25 Mar 2015 08:57:46
Good question.
Definitely Robben he was a whole different class.
Eidur Gudjohnson loved him at Chelsea and didn't pop at Barca.
Carlo Cudicini great goalkeeper. I know Cech was better and he left for first team football, but as he got left on the Spuds bench I wish he stayed with us. A proper talent and a joy to watch

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Mar 2015 09:22:05
Really suprised to see that nobody miss Lampard :) I really believe that people like him should stay and finish their career with the club

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Mar 2015 09:54:46
The reason why I didn't mentioned robben is that he was wiling to go even though he was playing regularly where in case of KDB he left as he didn't play

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Mar 2015 17:12:55
Mata all day long. Loved the club loved the city, loved by the fans and only left because he was basically forced out by Jose. Would play him before oscar.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Mar 2015 20:17:02
Mata is missed highly would make us unstoppable in this poor premier league.

Agree2 Disagree0

24 Mar 2015 10:45:08
Any interest in Modric?
real Madrid surely looking to sell in order to buy, any idea which players?
PSG in same boat, which players?
